"Green" policies are destroying this country

It’s like talking to a brick wall Charlie!

You really are as transparent as glass when it comes to your cul de sac attempts to distract from Irish green ideological nonsense.

How many times do you need to be told that when it comes fulfilling our E.U. obligations and providing us with a secure energy source I am talking about the state building its own. Something that could be achieved with less than 0.4% of our infrastructure budget for this decade.

What’s this about boroken?

I’ve had posts removed in the past on this thread……….

No planning because the government has not applied for planning for a LNG terminal. A terminal that could be built in 2 years and be hydrogen ready as well.

Barryroe is not seeking an exploration licence. You must have missed those have been banned by green muppet legislation. They are waiting on Ryan to stop his fiddling while Rom burns and grant a lease, so stop your own spoofing on an LNG terminal and Ballyroe.

I would have through your credibility being blown yesterday might have made you cop yourself on, but obviously not.

Ballyroe has not been granted a licence because Ryan has been sitting on his hands doing sweet F A while waffling on about air quality for a country that has among the best air quality in the world.

No LNG, so how do you propose to satisfy the regulators concern on energy supply security as well as fulfilling our E.U obligations, or do you believe we should just ignore the E.U when it comes to obligations.?

60 windmills in Dublin bay would be doing the same as 60 sitting on the shore when there is no wind. Sitting there depending on by then on none existing gas supply due to the muppets to fill the gap.

Looks like it hasn't been watered in ages !

That country we were being told was the one to learn from by Irish greens, Germany, is not pissing around like our minister Ryan. Looking to have their first LNG up and running in 2024, and in the meantime they have signed options with Germany energy company RWE for three floating LNG terminals and are looking to add a fourth which could be in operation as early as this Winter.

More ducking and diving? Nope, it's certainly not the company which is "lying". Isnt that the same company against whom you've made repeated unsubstantiated allegations of being "dodgy"?

Anyway you said

Ballyroe is 2026 and again no exploration license yet so very little chance of that.

I said

Again wrong. The Ballyroe gas field has a published timeline of between 1-2 years. But more importantly Ballroe has already been awarded its Exploration Licence and is now moving to the penultimate phase prior to extraction. The only thing holding this project up is Mr Ryans apparent stonewalling of the companies communications to date.

You referred to Ballyroe and an "exploration licence" and gave a date of 2026

I corrected that they're already in procession of an exploration licence and are moving to the next phase of final appraisal (with an published timeline of 1-2 years) which is the date given for that phase ie 2023 and not 2026 as you stated. 2026 is the expected Extraction date following the current phase.

Shannon LNG

Seriously do you forget every single thing under discussion here?

You say

LNG at best will be 2027, as no planning yet no chance that will happen

That piece of ground has been well gone over at this stage

The timeline for completion of the Shannon LNG terminal as detailed by the company in May 2021 undertaking the Shannon LNG projec was that the "liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the Shannon would be “online by the second half of next year”.

So again I'll quote the relevant piece again

May 2 2021

New Fortress Energy (NFE), a US-listed energy group, expects its €500m liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the Shannon to be “online by the second half of next year”.

So from "May 2021" to "second half of next year" gives a timeline of between 1 - 2 years before gas is flowing.

Unfortunately the original date of completion was delayed by various green objectors. A new planning application is in the pipeline.

So once planning permission is granted pending the forthcoming application - we should see Shannon LNG up and running 2023 -2024.

Good job too.

We will need fossil fuels as backup for years, everyone agrees with this. However, the path to independence from fossil fuels are 3 things

1. Inter-connectors - big interconnected grid that provides resiliance and allow the creation of a single market for electricity across the continent of Europe
2. Diverse power sources (wind, solar, biomass, hydro, nuclear, geothermal etc)
3. Storage - Either in Batteries, or in another storage medium like Ammonia. First using storage to provide grid services like load balancing and frequency regulation. This can be done right now with a relatively small amounts of investment, and will immediately reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for peaker and grid services - And every new battery installation we bring in further reduces our reliance on fossil fuels - Grid storage solutions are completely modular, things like Iron Flow Redux batteries can be deployed where they are needed, to provide the storage where it is needed and the capacity can be increased by adding more cells. And the best part about storage is that it can be distributed so that the grid can have storage, but so can industrial plants store electricity on site to reduce their energy costs and provide security of supply.

Proven and reliable..

Proven to be causing Climate change

And relying on fossil fuels is exactly why we're in an energy crisis right now.

We have proven and reliable technologies that don't produce anywhere near as many climate changing emissions during their lifetime, and help us solve one of the biggest crisis humanity have faced in centuries.
